Key conclusions from tagging data<br />
1. The connection between Cape Cod fish (5Z) and the Inshore<br />
GOM stocks (5Y) appears to be unquestionable - Inshore GOM<br />
fish appear relatively resident to the area, with additional<br />
recruitment <strong>of</strong> younger fish from waters around Cape Cod.<br />
2. Georges Bank fish are a largely self-sustaining <strong>of</strong>fshore<br />
population that mixes with the Scotian Shelf and Bay <strong>of</strong> Fundy<br />
fish.<br />
3. The Bay <strong>of</strong> Fundy retains a good portion <strong>of</strong> its cod, but mixing<br />
with the <strong>of</strong>fshore banks (Georges Bank and Browns Bank) is<br />
also evident.<br />
4. From recent movement studies, little can be said about cod in<br />
the Mid-Atlantic Bight and more southern waters.
